To promote efficient administrative processes in the Faculty
Senate Executive Committee (FSEC) we have established a set of

Committees.

At least one member of FSEC will be appointed to each Faculty
Senate Committee to act as liaison to the committee and will report

A. The Agenda for the FSEC meetings will be determined by the
Chair in consultation with the Secretary and the FSEC.

Orders.

Any item placed on the Table at an FSEC meeting will be taken

Amendments to these Standing Orders may be proposed by any
member of the FSEC by written request to the Secretary of the
Senate one week prior to the next FSEC meeting. These
